Double Trouble

Guess who went to school with one pony tail and came home with two little piggies in her hair the other day??!! She's now double trouble with her new 'do!

Here's a shot from the back. Check out those curls!

She's figured out that she can see her reflection in the oven door, and she seemed to like her new look!

Life on the Edge

We decided to live on the edge and take off the rails on Osten's bed today for his nap.

He looks a little close to the edge, but no loud thuds just yet! By the way, this is Daddy's bed from when he was a little boy. Gramma Sue let us have it along with Daddy's boyhood furniture. Considering that Daddy's childhood was more than a few moons ago, his furniture is in remarkably good shape!

One Woman Show

Marci is busier than ever and has in fact been performing in-house as a one woman show recently! Her latest trick involves stripping down to her bloomers to minimize the inevitable mess that follows after she eats her yogurt.

For some reason, fewer clothes seems to equal more energy. She was really tearing it up on the xylophone!

Flying High

After VBS earlier this week, we had lunch at the indoor playground at Burger King with Hamilton. The boys had a big time flying high in the helicopter!

Occasionally, they would come check in with us and take a drink break. I caught Osten in the middle of a blink in this shot, but unfortunately he is past indulging me in "do overs" these days.

Tubtime Tactic

Occasionally, Marci needs some coaxing to get in the tub . . . Thanks to her love of brushing her teeth, we've discovered the perfect tubtime tactic!

The Many Faces

Oh, the many faces of Osten . . .

He had a good time demonstrating them for me the other night in the bathtub.

Ah, the life of a three-year-old boy . . . It's always interesting!

Fun & Games

Even though it was a quick trip, it was packed with fun and games, from reading the hotel guidebook on the kitchen floor (which was later replaced with the self-invented-but-soon-to-be-popular-world-wide game of Gwinn-it) . . .

to an interesting variation of Uno . . .

to late-night crabbing and sparklers on the beach.

I think a good time was had by all!
